Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 22.0.1229.94 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A use-after-free error exists related to SVG handling that can be used to exploit the renderer process.
(Issue #154983)

- An unspecified error exists related to IPC handling that can allow an attacker to escape the application sandbox. (Issue #154987)

Successful exploitation of any of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome 22.0.1229.94 or later.
